Eibach springs should fit no probs

Induction kit no probs - although there can be problems

Up-pipe (no need, the STI8 comes with a decat up-pipe )

Downpipe onwards is no probs.

Hope this helps

How do you find the ride of your standard STi compared with the WRX on eibachs? I drove a standard STi7 which was way over sprung and bounced all over the road.

Don't think the springs will fit as the sti8 uses different shocks to the sti7, the rest should fit I think.

John,
You are right
MY01-02WRX would physically fit an the STi7. But there is a difference in front end wieghts Prodrive do a Blue spring Kit for WRX and Red spring kit for STi7 because of these differences

The front STi7 springs would fit and be correct set up on a MY03STI but rears have a different Top mount spring size so wouldn't fit IMHO
